‘Ouija Poetry Night’ Planned in Columbia Heights

Locals will have a chance to commune with spirits while writing poetry in Columbia Heights tomorrow night.

Nonprofit 826DC is scheduled to host a “Ouija Poetry Night” at its “Tivoli’s Astounding Magic Supply Co.” store (3333 14th St. NW) this Thursday starting at 6:30 p.m.

During the writing session, attendees will craft poems with the help of a Ouija board they buy at the store or bring in themselves.

“Whether you consider it a harmless party game or a device for communicating with the other side, you probably haven’t tried using it to write poetry,” organizers said in a Facebook event page. “Come celebrate the end of Mercury in retrograde with a night of quick-fire writing influenced by the paranormal.”

The event will also include food, drinks, magician costumes for sale, organizers said.
